Seahawks fantasy forecast – Week 3 NFL predictions

Start ‘em & Sit ‘em Week 3

The undefeated Seattle Seahawks play their second straight game at home this Sunday.

This week they welcome perhaps the worst team in the NFL – the Jacksonville Jaguars – who are 0-2 and who have scored just one TD all season long!

Will it be a fantasy bonanza for the Hawks’ position players? Likely not – Seattle will likely get back to basics, get out to an early lead and nurse it home to the finish line.

It could mean a short day for Marshawn Lynch as the backups could come in and mop up and it could mean an unflattering day for the passing game – there likely won’t be any fireworks needed in order for this team to post victory.

So which Seahawks should start for your Fantasy squad this week? Let’s take a look.

QB Russell Wilson

10 yards rushing, 200 yards passing, 1 TD

I see Wilson being the quintessential game manager – not a lot is going to be needed out of Wilson this week.

The Hawks will likely build up a big lead and ride Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin to the easy win. He is a sketchy Fantasy starter this week based on the fact that he won’t be called upon a lot.

RB Marshawn Lynch

120 yards rushing, 1 TD 2 catches, 10 yards

Lynch was terrific last week and heading into this week we can expect the same. After all, the Jaguars allowed Darren McFadden over 100 yards last week.
